Technology has a funny way of growing on you. It can make you a geek without you even noticing. Example: back in the day, my process of keeping classes organized was all about scrambling for the right notebook, rushing across campus, and scribbling semi-legible notes and test dates on whatever spare page I could find (you know, when you're "coma-noting" and unable to read your own notes the following day?) Now I just grab a 4.5 lb laptop on my way out the door and arrive to class with my entire academic history at my disposal. Word's notebook view whips would-be chicken-scratch notes up into nice, bulleted, and audio-noted study aids and outlines. While iCal, DotMac, and the cell keep a half-dozen class, work, and sports schedules synced across multiple devices, posted to a webpage, and available in my pocket. Geeked? Perhaps, but with all the crazy technologies colleges can throw at you, it's often just the ability to keep campus life organized quickly that keeps you ahead of the game.
